GreyHawk Landing's Calum Zeitler and his parents, Jake and Jen Zeitler, weren't going to let the heat get in their way of having a good time Friday at Music on Main.

Calum Zeitler, who is 7, didn't seem bothered at all playing cornhole, barely breaking a sweat as he threw the beanbag and landed it directly into the hole. He threw his hands in the air and yelled in celebration. 

Cornhole was just one of the activities the Zeitlers enjoyed during the monthly Lakewood Ranch event.

"We love (Music on Main)," Jen Zeitler said. "It's toasty out, but it's the perfect time of day to be out. It can only get cooler from here."

East County's 11-year-old Ariana Rojas and 5-year-old Aileen Rojas found an easy way to cool off: eating Kona Ice. 

"It's really refreshing," Ariana Rojas said.
